Hibs defender Lewis Stevenson hit with one-match ban

Hibs player Lewis Stevenson’s 300th match for the club has been put on hold after the left back learned he’s been hit by a one-match ban.

Stevenson picked up his sixth booking of the season during the 1-0 win against Morton at Cappielow and is due to serve his suspension from next Tuesday. The ban is confined to league matches, leaving the 27-year-old free to face Hearts in the William Hill Scottish Cup fifth-round replay in what will be his 299th game for Hibs. But he will then be forced to sit out the home match against Alloa Athletic on Sunday, February 21, meaning he’ll hit his personal milestone when Alan Stubbs’ side face Morton at Easter Road on Wednesday, February 24.
